Well-known member
and I thought there was a thread about it somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

I am making Chipotle Mashed Potatoes and Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions. For sauces and toppings so far I have Chicken ala King, Broccoli in Cheese Sauce, and a Mexican Beef-type one, crumbled bacon, green onions, cilantro, sour cream, grated cheese, chopped red onion, guacamole and salsa. Any other idea for sauces in particular? Has anyone else done this, any hints? I seem to recall another thread, but of course I could not find it on Gail's. Thanks!

 
Here it is -

Grrr, Epi will not allow a link to an archived thread

Dawn, from the new Epi Swap page, click on advanced search.

In the search terms, put "mashed potato bar" including the quotation marks.

Choose to search Gail's Recipe Swap, and have the date set to All.

It should pull the thread up. If you can't find it, I'll go pull some of the ideas from it and post them here.

Actually, in order to read anything isnide the responses, you need to go to the

thread through the new Epi search in order to see them. Even right clicking to open the response in a new window doesn't work for me. smileys/frown.gif

I gave the search instructions in my post with the broken link above.

Thanks for your quick response. I think I am going to make Beef Stroganoff also. Thanks everyone!

 
You all know about the way to still get to them from Kitchen Seek, right?...

Just put your mouse over the link and manually type in the URL so it gets to the particular post you want. I find this easier than doing ANYthing at the new epi site ;o)

Eg.: to get to a response under the main post,

http://63.123.232.200/HyperNews/get/archive_swap60901-61000/60932.html

you add /4.2.html at the end, so you have

http://63.123.232.200/HyperNews/get/archive_swap60901-61000/60932/4/2.html

I also like one similar to one of the ones at Oprah's site. REC: Lemon Mashed Potatoes

The one at Oprah's site was:
Mashed Potatoes with Jalapeno and Lime (Lemon) Butter, which sounds good too.

Just soften 1/2 stick of butter, and add the zest of a lemon. Adjust the consistancy with a little lemon juice if you need to.

The flavor of the lemon with the starchiness of the potato is unexpectedly good! Really brightens it up.

 
Hi Andrea, another hint to navigate the old site, when you search using the link Dawn gave,

in order to open any replies within the thread, you need to right click on the reply link, and tell it to open in a new window. Otherwise, it takes you back to the archives in the new Swap format.

I've noticed that now, sometimes even this trick won't let me open the replies within a thread. smileys/frown.gif

 
Lisa - I noticed that too...

but I ALways get bumped back to the new swap format when I try to open a reply (subpost), not using the option to open as a new window. Maybe I will try opening a new window as you suggest, and see if it takes me to the replies within the post.

Thanks for the tip!
